Early this fall, when I signed the book deal, I felt I was in decent shape, but with the photoshoot for the book scheduled for the winter, I wanted to be in great shape. I wanted to build upper body strength to help support my handstands and arm balances, and I wanted to lean out just a little bit. My journey has only been from the middle of October to now - the middle of January, so under three months, but I've been able to meet my goals and what I learned along the way was surprising and left me feeling the absolute best I've ever felt. I'm in the best shape of my life, and - most importantly - feel the best I've ever felt in terms of energy, strength and stress levels.
